Re: What bourbon are you drinking today? Autumn '12

Last night I found an older bottle of OWA 107. This one had a neck label with an age statement of 7 years. The label said "distilled in Frankfort, Kentucky" so I am assuming this is a bottle from BT before they changed the label? I have had some of the newer bottles before and while I have liked them, I remember thinking that the high proof and oak were a bit unbalanced with the sweetness. However, this particular bottle was so good. I mean really, really good. I did a head to head against my recent ORVW 10/107 purchase and it was every bit it's equal.

Going to go back to the store I found them at and snatch up the remaining two bottles they had.

Attaboy, Will. Start your day off on the right foot. I think it was Frank Sinatra would said (and I'm paraphrasing): "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

"I distrust a man who says 'when.' He's got to be careful not to drink too much, because he's not to be trusted when he does." Sydney Greenstreet

Good for you, Bro. This store that had old OWA, did they have other dusties? Do you have any excuse to sing "O, Lord, I'm stuck in Novi again"?

If God made anything better than bourbon he must have kept it for Hisself.
